HC Deb 03 March 1949 vol 462 c60W
48. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the fact that suitable poultry equipment is available in Britain for export he will refuse any further applications by the Colonial Development Corporation for dollars to purchase similar American equipment for use in the Gambia.

Mr. Jay

The availability of suitable equipment from the United Kingdom is taken into account by the Treasury as a matter of course before authorising the expenditure of dollars.
